Why Practice Family Medicine in BC's Fraser Health Region?

Innovation in Primary Care

Our communities serve as an incubation ground for many leading-edge enhancements in patient care that contribute to a rewarding family practice. These include new GP-led organizations called “Divisions of Family Practice.” Unique to British Columbia, Divisions are formal structures in which independent GPs organize themselves to work together in their communities, and with their partners in the Ministry of Health, BC Medical Association and Health Authority. Within a Division, GPs can exchange ideas, design patient care, and provide community physician leadership in broader system planning.

A Committed Province

Primary Care is prioritized by BC’s Ministry of Health Services as the cornerstone of health care; a commitment that is formalized in the BC Primary Health Care Charter. The Province is responding to GP input to "Value Us, Pay Us, Train Us, Support Us.” It is collaborating with the BC Medical Association through the General Practice Services Committee on joint initiatives that support community physicians. These funded programs and incentives advance patient care and practice innovations, and support the care of complex patients. Their demonstrated positive impacts on patient care are garnering international acclaim.

Clinical Faculty & Mentoring Opportunities

In this section, learn more about:

Clinical Faculty Opportunities

Become a Clinical Faculty Member at UBC

Opportunities for those interested in becoming a UBC appointed Clinical Faculty member are administered by each of UBC's departments/schools. Clinical Faculty members are usually practising clinicians who have responsibility for teaching activities and who may also have responsibilities in research and administrative/service activities. As such, most are appointed as independent contractors by the University and not employees of UBC. This appointment relationship between the University and each Clinical Faculty member is governed by an Appointment/Offer Letter.

Please visit the Office of Clinical Faculty Affairs on the UBC website for more information:

Physician Mentoring

Become a Physician Mentor

The Mentor Program is offered to all UBC MD undergraduate students at all program sites by the Office of Student Affairs. First Year students are introduced to their Mentor Group in the early part of their first semester.
